Busch Gardens

Went to Busch Gardens in Tampa for free. It was a great day.








SHARK TEETH on Venice Beach

Found: 11 SHARK TEETH on Venice Beach. No wonder they call me "Shark Tooth". It was a great day of hunting. Method used of picking them out of the water. "Florida Snow Shovel". See below. Venice beaches are very near to me so I will be going often. Not only is it great fun, it's great exercise walking on the beach and in the water. Some of my friends gave me the warning "Be careful if the teeth are still in the shark..."

Caspersen Beach
The longest beach in Sarasota County, is located south of Venice Airport on Harbor Drive. It has been left in its natural state, uncultivated, windswept, and secluded. This is an exceptionally good area to look for and find pre-historic sharks teeth as well as enjoyable shelling.





2007 was a GREAT Christmas

2007 was a GREAT Christmas as I finally was able to celebrate it with my mom after many years of being away. I finally put up a Christmas tree as I had great reason to celebrate. One of my gifts was really awesome. I’ll show you pics when I use it. Stay posted. : ) I even made my own ornaments beach themed out of starfish. They were a lot of fun to make even though I almost super glued my fingers together. I also planted my poinsettia outside. It’s doing well but I had to cover it up for the hard freeze on January 2, 2008.


Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.




Part of the fun of living in the city is being able to go to a different restaurant for most of my life without having to return to the same one. After the Macy’s parade we went to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. It was very tasty shrimp and they had very good service. If you wanted a server to stop you flipped over the Stop Forest Stop and the closest server would come see what you wanted. If you didn’t need anything you just kept the Run Forest Run sign up.

MACY'S Holiday Parade at Universal Studios

Went to the MACY'S Holiday Parade at Universal Studios. Next year I'm going to sign up to be a baloon handler.

The world's most famous parade has become a holiday experience for park guests at Universal Studios®, featuring some of the most popular balloons and floats from the famous MACY'S Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.








I.C.E. 9 degrees - the average temperature inside “The Florida Fridge.”

Went to I.C.E. in the middle of December. It was just like being back in South Dakota only better, I was able to walk out of it into 80 degrees. You can also ice skate outdoors under a tent in Orlando.

More than 18,000 – the total square feet of space is covered by the ICE! attraction. Kept at a brisk 9 degrees Fahrenheit, the unique structure housing ICE! is also known as the “Florida Fridge.” It is believed to be the first of its kind in North America.
9 degrees - the average temperature inside “The Florida Fridge.”






Mom's New Car


My mom is really enjoying her 2007 car that she bought. It has OnStar so I feel much safter about her being on the roads to come visit me.
